I appreciate everyone's... input, if you'll excuse the feeble pun. I honestly never really thought about HDMI KVMs, sadly, it seems they are all $400+. Thanks for sharing that receiver, I'd be a lot more onboard with paying that kind of money for the additional features that a receiver provides, but...

Hello all, been a while since I've posted outside of my Video Connections guide! I was wondering if anybody could point me towards a solution to my first-world problem. I have roughly 14 HDMI devices I want hooked up to my TV that has 3 HDMI inputs. At the moment, I'm using two 5 port HDMI switches,...

Hey would the PSOne 5 inch LCD (SCPH-141) count towards the list. This has the best picture for PS1 games IMO, and it's a connection (attachment) sorta?

Can you output gameboy games in component via gameboy player + GCN + component cable? Would there even be a difference considering the 240X160 resolution of the GBA? Yup.

When the wii hit fifty dollars, I stopped looking for anything GCN. With the low price of the wii, and the wide ava...
